Member Bio

I'm Martyn Greswolde. I'm a wedding photographer Based in Wolverhampton. I have been a photographer since 1999 and started out Shooting events and night clubs but I now concentrate on weddings. I Travel all over the UK shooting weddings in a photo journalistic style. On the day I prefer to let events unfold naturally, this way I am able to capture true emotion and real events. I believe in shooting the traditional formal shots too but like to keep these to a minimum so they take as little time out of your day as possible. I love the timeless, classic appeal of black and white photographs which is why a typical album will contain around 40-50% black and white images; although. this can be adjusted to individual tastes. I like my colour shots nice and punchy but still realistic. I Love getting up in the mornings knowing I get to spend my day with a couple who will be having the best day of their lives. I also love the challenge of a wedding as no two are ever the same, I am able to channel all my energy on the day into creating a wonderful album the couple will cherish for years to come. I've had a love of photography since I first picked up my Dads 'Zenith' 35mm camera and started taking photos of our pets and of local buildings. My passion was reignited back in 1999 when I started a two year stint documenting the happenings at a nightclub in Manchester. It started out as a bit of fun but as I shot more and more nightclubs I started thinking more seriously about my photography. Things peaked with the nightclubs in 2004 when I was granted special access to shoot Global Gathering (the UK's premier dance festival) It was at this point I knew I could make a living from my photography. I was asked by some work colleagues to cover their wedding reception as the main photographer was due to finish just before the wedding breakfast. This was my first taste of wedding photography and photojournalism to be more precise. My work colleagues were delighted with the images I captured that evening and their enthusiasm and joy made me start out as a wedding photographer.
